Thackerays, Nirupam under the scanner

DNA Correspondent
The police have been directed to examine the inflammatory statements by political leaders that led to tense moments on the locals versus migrants issue.
Home minister RR Patil said on Friday the police have been asked to submit a report on the statements by various political leaders. He added that appropriate action would be taken against the leader who is found guilty of creating tension in the society. "We will decide on the action once the report is submitted," Patil said.
MNS chief Raj Thackeray had warned the state of "riots" if Congress leaders Sanjay Nirupam and KripashankarSingh, and Samajwadi Party leader Abu AsimAzmi continued making statements against Marathis.
Nirupam had recently said North Indians could bring the city to a standstill if they took even a day off. Shiv Sena leader Uddhav Thackeray threatened to break his teeth. Mumbai Congress chief Kripashankar Singh had called for an end to the verbal exchanges, but Azmi dared Shiv Sena and MNS to act on their threat.
